Michael Bisping not concerned by 5am fight time ahead of UFC 204 clash with Dan Henderson

When Michael Bisping steps out in front of a Manchester crowd to face Dan Henderson at UFC 204 on Saturday it will be a monumental moment for him and British fighters in the UFC, but it will also be at around 5am in the morning.
The middleweight champion will conduct his first defence against a man who knocked him out in a title eliminator seven years ago at UFC 100 and British fight fans will have to stay up into the wee hours of the morning if they want to attend or catch the clash live.
